B.F.A. (Ceramics) Technique Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the University of Mumbai syllabus for the B.F.A. (Ceramics) degree, revised by Circular No. UG/210 of 2004 and in force from the academic year 2004-2005. It is still the scheme you are examined on: the University set exactly these papers in her Summer 2025 and Summer 2026 timetables, and has published no revision of it.
The Third Year examination is conducted by the college recognised by the University of Mumbai, not by the University itself, so the University publishes no timetable for it.
